Join Us In Honouring Indigenous Adoptees

Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario – The Nurturing Our Roots Powwow is an annual Traditional Powwow held on the grounds of the Niagara Regional Native Centre in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

All are welcome to attend this family friendly celebration of Indigenous culture at 382 Airport Rd,, Niagara-on-the-Lake, just off the QEW, on Sunday, September 25th, 2016.

The Grand Entry, which is the official commencement of the event, starts at noon and the festivities will carry on until the flags are retired between 4 and 5 pm.

This drug and alcohol free event is the perfect opportunity to share in the richness of Indigenous culture by enjoying traditional dancing, drumming, singing, crafts, food and drink, and community spirit while we honour Indigenous adoptees.

The spirit of perseverance is strong in the oft marginalized Indigenous community but The tens of thousand of Indigenous adoptees may be the most marginalized group of people in all of Canada. At this Niagara Powwow we want to honour the strength, resolve and wonder of some of our most important community members and show them that Niagara is the kind of inclusive and special place where everybody belongs.

For over 40 years the Niagara Regional Native Centre has worked to promote awareness of the culture of Aboriginal peoples within the community in an effort to establish a relationship of mutual understanding and respect between the Aboriginal peoples and the other members of the community.

When to Come: The “Grand Entry” at noon is the best chance to see all the different dancers taking part in the festivities, but stop by anytime before 4 and partake in this rich celebration of culture
